Other Expense | Loss from an ongoing litigation, Elysium During the year ended December 30, 2017, the Company incurred a write-off of approximately $746,000 in gross trade receivable from Elysium related to royalties, due to inherent uncertainty about collecting all damages sought by the Company, as well as the Company’s decision to not seek damages for any unpaid royalty payments under the License Agreement in connection with the defense of Elysium’s claims for patent misuse and unjust enrichment. As a result of this write-off and after further analysis, the Company made an adjustment to the total allowance amount from ($800,000) to ($500,000).
